In It to Win It

“The blonde on the left is a bridesmaid and extremely competitive. To her, catching the bouquet was a game, and she was going to win it. Both women caught it at the same time and fell down. The whole thing lasted about twenty seconds, which is a lifetime when you’re watching a bouquet fight.” “David Krumholtz, actor, and Vanessa Britting, actress, married May 2010 Photo: Brian Dorsey Studios

“Most of my friends are married, so I wanted to get rid of the bouquet before the reception. I didn’t even think to toss it backward; I just threw it like a baseball. I actually missed the tour bus the first time and had to throw it twice.” “Sehjin Han, plastic surgeon, and Moses Hohman, CEO, married January 2008 Photo: Dave Robbins

“My sister Jessica basically pushed down a bunch of other girls to get the bouquet; it’s disturbing how committed she is. There was a third woman who wanted it, but she gave up way before these two. They’re really into the myth about being “next,’ but I’m pretty sure neither has a boyfriend.” “Joshua Frith, photographer, and Anyeka Frith, nurse, married April 2011 Photo: Stak

“I closed my eyes and spun around three times so no one could blame me for trying to throw it to a certain person. Only when I opened my eyes did I notice there were men in the crowd. They seemed disappointed when a female caught it.” “Julisa Marmolejos, program officer, and Jonathan Marmolejos, director of operations, married July 2011 Photo: Julian Ribinik
